"It would have been nice to have had complimentry coffee/tea making facilities in room."

"Very courteous staff. Hotel room spotlessly clean. Food very good although vegetables lacked variety. Room had a lovely sea view and good balcony facilities."

"Nice Hotel, just across the road from the beach. Good value for money, and close to the marina, with its restaurants and bars.Thoroughly enjoyed our week."

"Disappointed with the hotel - we were not bothered about a seaview - however we did expect a balcony which we did not have - the first morning at breakfast was manic - every table was either occupied or full of dirty crockery - we managed to find a table for two at the very back of the restaurant that we had to request cleaning and crockery for. Didn't improve much for the rest of the week, even though we tried different times. Cleaning wasn't brilliant - rather hit and miss. We have been to Vilamoura several times but would not return to this hotel"

"The hotel was good, it suited us and what we were looking for on a short break"

"We had a great time the Hotel was Excellent. Great room over looking the sea. Service was excellent. Staff friendly."

"the rooms were very clean and staff very polite and helpful.the breakfasts were a bit kaotic due to the amount of people arriving at the same time. the reception areas were noisy due to the amount of golfers waiting to be transported. overall we would go back to this hotel as the atmosphere was very relaxing. A bit disappointed at having to pay for indoor pool!"

"The room was the best situated we have had in five visits - better than when I booked myself. We know the hotel well but it is now specializing in golf breaks. Private visitors we spoke to were disappointed as you need to be fairly tolerant about the foyer being regularly crowded with arriving/departing golf parties and the fairly noisy nights as the revelers return from local bars and clubs. It suits us for the purpose of our visit, we shall stay there again and will book through you."

"good hotel in a great location"

"Great hotel, on beach and 5 mins to marina."

"Have just returned from a girlie weekend, everything was fantastic - weather, hotel, beach, restaurants, bars, location. Hotel was right on the beach and just 5 mins stroll to marina where there are numerous bars and restaurants. Hotel room does not have tea or coffee facilities but did have a fridge and electric rings. When we got to our room we found it did not have a balcony so we upgraded at 10 euros per night to have partial sea view with a balcony."

"Disco opposite the hotel that played booming and I mean BOOMING music till 7 am every morning! Not good!! I like going out but that really wasn't on!!! STAY CLEAR OF THIS HOTEL UNLESS YOU CAN SLEEP THROUGH ANYTHING or if you don't mind NOT SLEEPING. Hope you don't think I had a bad time but I like my sleep !!!!!
Marina & beach fantastic. Hotel not great ( 3 stars no way a 4). And the music just ruined it for everybody."

"The Hotel itself is lovely, its typical of a central european hotel chain. Its cleanliness and standards are extremely high. We stayed at the beginning of September and even though the hotel was less busy than peak times an effort was made to provide entertainment.
The breakfast, rooms, staff and facilities were excellent and its central location enabled myself and my friends to be able to move easily between the beach, the hotel and the marina for food and shopping."

"I booked Half Board for a 3 day trip for myself and my better half. We had a wonderful time, the hotel was excellent, staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating and food choice and quality excellent, in particular the evening meals."

"We had a great holiday- the weather, as always in the Algarve , was hot and sunny for 99% of the time.The food in Ampalius was first class and the waiters and waitresses friendly and efficient.
My travel companion had a slight accident in the bathroom when he fell and pulled the shower, shower curtain and rail off the wall. The hotel staff had it fixed as good as new within an hour and a half-amazing for Portuga(we love it)."

"Having read other reviews we were suprised by the excellent standard of the Hotel and the friendliness of the staff. My husband and I had a four night stay for our tenth wedding anniversary without the kids and would definatley reccommand the hotel and resort. The pool was perfect and as we had no children with us apprecaited that the main pool and childrens pool were seperated.
We also used the Spa having two hot stone massages that we amazing.
We would definatly recommend the hotel and it's superb location in a great resort.
With regards to other reviews we have read concerning noise from the Nikki Beach club we found there was no noise and it was not an acyual night club."

"Stayed there before, will stay again. Excellent hotel in an excellent location"

"The hotel was in a great location- to sum it up everything from start to finish was perfect, facilities, staff, breakfast, rooms, etc etc perfect! I would recommend this hotel to every age group from couples to families- the entertainment at the pool during the day was great. The only negative was the bar pool- not the friendlsiest staff but not the end of the world!!
Great holiday!!"

"Lovely hotel, great location, - especially if you like designer shops - fabulous holiday."


"Great location and great friendly staff! Only disapointment was no tea and coffee facilities in the room however we were aware of this when we booked!
We were in a room with no balcony and half way through our stay the reception staff offered us a balcony room that had become available for only and extra 10 Euros a night!
The evening buffet and show was good fun, for kids especially!! The cost was excellent as it can get rather pricey around the marinari to eat out!
We loved how close it was to everything and would definately go back again, hopefully next year!!"

"Fantastic location right by the beach and the Port. Didn't eat any meals in the hotel, but the pastries at breakfast were lovely and fresh. Rooms were very clean. Only negative thing I have to say is relating to the internet - I wanted to use it just for a couple of minutes to check my bank balance on-line, but the hotel only offered one hour's internet at a minimum cost of 5 Euros. In view of this, I wasted an hour walking round the Port trying to find an internet cafe, which I eventually found in Figo's bar. All the hotels I have ever visited normally have a coin slot for the internet where you insert a Euro at a time for 15 minutes usage, so 5 Euros minimum fee I felt was a rip-off. Other than this though, the hotel was great and we would certainly stay there again."
